Our September 2013 Paintout is

Isle of Wight

Open for participation from September 1st thru September 30th




View Larger Map You'll find an interactive map of the Isle of Wight above, though you can't access the little yellow pegman from that map. Use the link below it, "View Larger Map", and the map will appear on your monitor; drag the little Yellow Man onto the map, let go while he's over a blue area, and start exploring. Find an interesting subject/area. Change it all you want. Or paint it straight up as you see it. Instructions are in the sidebar to the right. Any questions, ask 'em in the comments or email me directly.

This month we travel to the Isle of Wight, located in the English Channel. The Isle of Wight has a lengthy history, and a wonderful variety of geography to go along with it. I believe you will thoroughly enjoy this month's location.



IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING...



It is necessary to stress the importance of a couple of rules. One is the image size issue. It states in the rules in the right sidebar on this blog that the image has to be at a resolution of 72 and no larger than 1000 pixels on the widest side. Submissions not following the rules will not be posted.

IGNORE THE BLUE DOTS! It appears that Google has now added every user submitted photograph to the maps in the form of blue dots. Make sure your reference comes from the actual Street View application and not a photograph. Thanks. 


Also, each artist must include the URL of the location that the artwork is based upon. To find the URL is easy. In the maps mode, while looking at your scene you have chosen, click the "LINK" button at the top LEFT of the screen, check the "Short URL" button. With that link highlighted simply copy it and paste into your email with your submission. (How do you not lose your location? Click "SEND" with your view up and email it to yourself.) Remember, these buttons are found at the top left of the map.




So there you go. Should be extremely easy. If your submission doesn't show up on the blog, please check the list near the top in the sidebar entitled, "Don't see your submission? This could be the reason..." Thanks. 

Thanks again to Google, as they have given their permission for artists to use Street View as a reference for paintings that can then be sold without fear of copyright infringement.

And thank you, artists, for participating.

Remember, participation is open to all levels of artistic ability.

NOW LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

Not only is pegman gone from the new maps, it appears that short URLs are gone from the old one.

The Short URL is still there for me on the old map, Dave.

Oh, I found out that if you switch to the new Maps and then back to the old one, the URL gets screwed up because of the URL you are now directed to. The address starts with a "www" and that needs to be manually changed to "maps." Then the Short URL works.
